While they took shelter, Syndulla's friend, the Twi'lek minstrelGobi Glie, composed the "Ballad of Cham Syndulla" to further inspire the freedom fighters' efforts. The song included Syndulla's antagonistic views of Ryloth's Twi'lek senator, Orn Free Taa,[1] whom Syndulla believed to be uncaring of the Twi'leks' fate on Ryloth while he remained on the galactic capital of Coruscant, headquarters of the Galactic Senate.[5] The ballad also illustrated Syndulla's exploits and leadership of the resistance, as well as the insurgency's first engagement with the Confederate forces at Cazne. Syndulla was opposed to the song and believed that it inaccurately portrayed him as a legend rather than an ordinary soldier, while Glie himself believed that the potential of inspirational leaders was an advantage that the Twi'leks had over the Confederate droids.[1]

Did you know, Ryloth children,Of history's grand fight,Of the villains sent scurrying by Cham Syndulla

Feared by the corrupt and loved by the freeUnshackling our Ryloth for you and for meSpine stronger and straighter than time-tested spireeHe took the first stand 'gainst tyrants and liars

"Ryloth for Twi'leks," his war-cry would hauntThe plump baron and leechee from far CoruscantThese words kept us starved and stole from our larderBut Cham said "No more," kept filled by his ardor

So hear now, Ryloth children,Of what was to comeHear now of the challenge to Cham Syndulla

Do you hear, Ryloth children,The Separatist war drumAnd how it was answered by Cham Syndulla

A new war came to Ryloth, it dropped from the skiesAn old greed, an old hunger, wrapped in a new guiseIn the midst of our war 'gainst the rich for the poorThe terrible Clone Wars arrived at our door

Droids preyed on the innocents, the sick and the oldMechanical murder, a murder most coldIt made no difference what flag our foes flewFor Cham rallied our forces, charging boldly anew

In our warrens, Ryloth children,We gather and hideBut still hear the call of Cham Syndulla

We aren't lost, Ryloth children,We will turn the tideBy following into battle Cham Syndulla

Our brothers have fallen, tread upon by steel feetWe buried their bodies, we tasted defeatThough we have been pushed back, our resistance won't fallWe're twice again in might, with headtails to the wall

We will continue the fight, with blasters and knivesWith teeth bared and fists balled, we fight for our livesCham will free Ryloth, our home soil we hold dearHe will bring us our victory and teach droids how to fear

The "Ballad of Cham Syndulla" was structured in three sets of a refrain and two verses each. The refrains were composed of two three-line sections, following a rhyming pattern of ABCABC, while the verses were quatrains and followed a rhyming pattern of AABB.[1]
